- Rename `removeAt` → `removeAtInPlace` and document the mutation
contract; the old name read like a non-mutating helper.
- Hotkey table + queue header: use `Ctrl+X` / `Esc` to match the
rest of the UI (was `⌃X` / `esc`).
- Render the queued header as a single template literal so JSX
text-node whitespace can't sneak into the rendered line.
- Make `Esc` while editing beat the `terminal.hasSelection` clear:
the header promises 'Esc cancel', so an active selection
shouldn't silently consume the keystroke.
Today there's no way to remove a queued message — ↑ loads it for edit,
ctrl-K dispatches the head, but a draft you no longer want stays put
forever. ctrl-C just clears the composer and exits edit mode without
touching the queue.
Two new bindings, both gated on queueEditIdx !== null so they're
inert when the user isn't pointing at a queue item:
- ctrl-X — delete the queue item being edited, clear composer, exit
edit mode. "cut" matches the mental model and doesn't collide with
any existing binding.
- esc — cancel the edit (composer clears, item stays in queue).
Mirrors ctrl-C's existing behavior so muscle memory has two paths.
Header line now reads `queued (3) · editing 2 · ⌃X delete · esc cancel`
when in edit mode, so the affordance is discoverable without /help.
The /help hotkey table also gets a Ctrl+X entry.
ctrl-C is intentionally unchanged: it should never destroy queued
content. Cancel is non-destructive (esc / ctrl-C); only ctrl-X
removes the item.
Make Ctrl+L non-destructive by redrawing the current screen state instead of starting a new session, and stop auto-appending --global for typed /model commands so session scope remains the default unless explicitly requested.
- resolveEditor() now returns argv (string[]) so EDITOR='code --wait'
and VISUAL='emacsclient -t' tokenize correctly into spawnSync's
separate command + args. Previously the whole string was passed as
argv[0] and would ENOENT.
- Skip the POSIX X_OK PATH walk on Windows; return ['notepad.exe']
there since fs.constants.X_OK is not meaningful and PATHEXT-based
resolution would need its own implementation.
- Surface openEditor() rejections via actions.sys instead of letting
them become unhandled promise rejections in the useInput callback.
- Hotkey docs/comment now say Cmd/Ctrl+G to match isAction()'s
platform-action-modifier behavior (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere).
VSCode and Cursor bind Ctrl+G to "Find Next" at the editor level, so
the keystroke never reaches the embedded terminal — Ctrl+G to open
\$EDITOR was effectively dead inside those IDEs.
Alt+G is unbound in both editors and reaches the TUI cleanly as
`\x1bg` → `key.meta && ch === 'g'` after parse-keypress. Accept it
alongside the existing isAction(key, ch, 'g') check, and document the
fallback in README + the hotkeys panel.
- accept forwarded Cmd+C for selection copy in SSH sessions even when Hermes runs on Linux
- keep local Linux Alt+C from acting as copy and update TUI hotkey hints for remote shells
The 'columns' prop passed to TextInput was cols - pw, but the actual
render width is cols - pw - 2 (NoSelect's paddingX={1} on each side
subtracts two cols from the composer area). cursorLayout thought it
had two extra cols, so wrap-ansi wrapped at render col N while the
declared cursor sat at col N+2 on the same row. The render and the
declared cursor disagreed right at the wrap boundary — the last
letter of a sentence spanning two lines flickered in/out as each
keystroke flipped which cell the cursor claimed.
Also polish the /help hotkeys panel — the !cmd / {!cmd} placeholders
read as literal commands to type, so show them with angle-bracket
syntax and a concrete example (blitz row 5 sub-item 4).
Selected rows in the model/session/skills pickers and approval/clarify
prompts only changed from dim gray to cornsilk, which reads as low
contrast on lighter themes and LCDs (reported during TUI v2 blitz).
Switch the selected row to `inverse bold` with the brand accent color
across modelPicker, sessionPicker, skillsHub, and prompts so the
highlight is terminal-portable and unambiguous. Unselected rows stay
dim. Also extends the sessionPicker middle meta column (which was
always dim) to inherit the row's selection state.
Make the Ink TUI match macOS keyboard expectations: Command handles copy and common editor/session shortcuts, while Control remains reserved for interrupt/cancel flows. Update the visible hotkey help to show platform-appropriate labels.
- hermes-ink: export `withInkSuspended()` + `useExternalProcess()` that
pause/resume Ink around an arbitrary external process (built on the
existing enterAlternateScreen/exitAlternateScreen plumbing)
- tui: `launchHermesCommand(args)` spawns the `hermes` binary with
inherited stdio, with `HERMES_BIN` override for non-standard launches
- tui: `/model` and `/setup` slash commands invoke the CLI wizards
in-place, then re-preflight `setup.status` and auto-start a session on
success — no more exit-and-relaunch to finish first-run setup
- setup panel now advertises those slashes instead of only pointing
users back at the shell
- tui_gateway: new `setup.status` RPC that reuses CLI's
`_has_any_provider_configured()`, so the TUI can ask the same question
the CLI bootstrap asks before launching a session
- useSessionLifecycle: preflight `setup.status` before both `newSession`
and `resumeById`, and render a clear "Setup Required" panel when no
provider is configured instead of booting a session that immediately
fails with `agent init failed`
- createGatewayEventHandler: drop duplicate startup resume logic in
favor of the preflighted `resumeById`, and special-case the
no-provider agent-init error as a last-mile fallback to the same
setup panel
- add regression tests for both paths
Hoist turn state from a 286-line hook into $turnState atom + turnController
singleton. createGatewayEventHandler becomes a typed dispatch over the
controller; its ctx shrinks from 30 fields to 5. Event-handler refs and 16
threaded actions are gone.
Fold three createSlash*Handler factories into a data-driven SlashCommand[]
registry under slash/commands/{core,session,ops}.ts. Aliases are data;
findSlashCommand does name+alias lookup. Shared guarded/guardedErr combinator
in slash/guarded.ts.
Split constants.ts + app/helpers.ts into config/ (timing/limits/env),
content/ (faces/placeholders/hotkeys/verbs/charms/fortunes), domain/ (roles/
details/messages/paths/slash/viewport/usage), protocol/ (interpolation/paste).
Type every RPC response in gatewayTypes.ts (26 new interfaces); drop all
`(r: any)` across slash + main app.
Shrink useMainApp from 1216 -> 646 lines by extracting useSessionLifecycle,
useSubmission, useConfigSync. Add <Fg> themed primitive and strip ~50
`as any` color casts.
Tests: 50 passing. Build + type-check clean.
